smith’s nature, or Sheridan’s wit. The
associations of journalism with the theatre
are too intimate; literature is too far from
it. - Leigh Hum®, when he established the|
“ Indicator,” ahd attempted to give impar-'
tial criticism of the London stage, deter
mined that he would accept no favors from
its managers, and form no acquaintances
with its actoris- «He wanted to keep his in
dependence, and riot only to be just, but to
avoid the temptation to partiality. But our
journalists are too frequently anxious to
form a kind of bobtail to the theatrical
kite, and steady its aspiring flights. The
critic accepts the courtesy of free seats from
the manager, and returns it in the shape of
an unscrupulous unmitigated puff. Avonta
Joses is the superior of Chablotte Cush
man; Lucille Westebn is npt only an
effective actress in sensational roles, hut a
great moral instructor. This improper
intimacy does not, however, always result
in unjust praise, hilt often in unjust cen
sure. When the newspaper quarrels with
the theatre the manager is most easily
struck through the reputation of the com
pany, arid the critic can find no merit in an
actor by whom he has been slighted. It
would be far better for bpth interests .if
they were kept jealously apart, if the free
list were abolished, the puff denied, and
, the chief difficulties in the way of honest
Opinion removed. But while we desire
to see the gulf between the theatre and
the newspaper broadened, we hope to
■see that between the stage and litera
ture diminished. We wish our best au
thors would write plays as good as their
books, ,’and that our managers would ac
ceptthem.
But with all these errors and vices the
American stage improves; it has great vi
tality and power. In no country and in
no age has the drama had a more general
support than it has in the United States.
We do not know how many theatres we
boast, but the number of professed actors
and actresses in tbe country, recorded in
the census’ of 1860, was 1490. This is
undoubtedly an under estimate. Every
large town has its theatre, and in the cities
we know how popular is the stage. The
character of the profession has perceptibly
improved in the last ten years. There is
yet much Bohemianism in it —Adah Isaacs
Menken Hrenan, arid the like—but the
proportion of intelligence and education
has increased. Young men and ladies of
culture and refinement take their places on
the stage, because they feel acting to be an'
art, and .the true vocation of a special
talent.. Great actors have always been the
peers and companions of great authors
and artists; Garrick was the friend of
Johnson and- Sir Joshua Revnoeds;
Munden the friend of liAmb ; Kean might
have been the intimate of Bvbon, as Bm
dons was the guest of Queen Charlotte ;
yet not only are our few distinguished trage
dians and comedians'welcomed in the inner
circles of intellectual society, but tiie many
good actorß, who are to the stage what the
second and third-r Ste poets-and journalists
are to literature, are recognized as true ar
tists worthy of ail respect. If you compare
the stage of Collet Cibber with that
of to-day, you may not find it superior in
ability, hut you will in respectability. And
every good- performance, every new actor
of worth, every new play of value, gives
additional dignity to a profession which
haß so long struggled with its own inherent
weakness and the prejudices of society.
One great reason for the social de
pression of the theatre has been the fact
that th*- -actor and his art are insepa
rable. Actor, dramatist, and painter may
be equally men of „ genius, and equally
worthless in morals, but the world in the
latter eases knows only the play and the
picture; in the other it criticises the man.
De Quihcet’s opium-eating did not- de
grade him in the opinion of the thousands
Who listened to his mighty eloquence—
but imagine a theatre of opium-eaters E
Byron's poems charm the young ladies
none the less because of the gin that
kept him awake when he wrote them,
but/KEAM’s love of liquor shocked morali
ty, and -he was hissed at Drury Lane,
for an error insignificant compared with
Byron’s habitual life. Wherever the ar
tist''appears publicly his art is identi
fied with his personality. If the tragedian
is drunken and dissipated, the Samlet will
not be properly respected,- and ’if the com
pany is not respectable all its genius will
not serve the profession from contempt.
The.player should remember that his art is
always embodied in his own person; that
he stands nearer to the public than the wri
ter and the-painter, and has, therefore,
more reason than they to be careful of what
he does, for his actions either elevkte or de
press his profession. We read strange sto
ries of the license of the theatre in the
old days, but now it is gratifying to
know that the green-room of a good theatre
is as free from impropriety,as a parior, and
that the actor who would play logo In
private life, and the actress who would
play Camille, are frowned upon as stern
ly by their own profession as by- the
public. Theatres are not built or man
aged as they used, to be. Two theatres
in this city~~have abolished the third
tier and. the bar-room ; and the pit,
with its crowds of whistling boys, is
no., longer- known outside of the famous
Bowery.
Our managers better appreciate the im
portance of maintainingthq respectability
of their theatres tW of elevating the in
tellectual character of the performances.
So we kriVC few good new. plays, and a
second-hand English drama is the best we
have. But as the stage improves SO w»2J
the original drama. In the meanwhile,
-some of our great artists understand the re
sponsibility imposed upon them by genius
and success. Charlotte Cushman, though
retired from the profession; has indirectly
done much for its good., Edwih Forrest,
as we recently announced, has built a small
theatre iuhisresidenceinthis city, intended
as a school for poor children who show dra
matic ability., John S. Clarke and Ed
win Booth have shown an earnest desire to
raise the average merit of American acting,
and bring upon the stage a class of young
men equal to that-which continually gives
new life to the bar, the pulpit, and the
press. And their efforts are pot likely to
be unsuccessful. The old prejudice is fail
ing. Who has not known some young
man who, evidently mail* l by nature for
an actor, has permitted Wily objection:
or his own fear of an experiment to make
him a respectable nonenity for life ? Pre
judice has ironed out many a bom tra
gedian into a flat clergyman, , and sent
many an ignorant fellow, fit only for an
honest trade, strutting before the public a
bad Horatio or a ranting Macdutf. We
have seen a Ohosl in “Hamlet,” who,
when the Prince exclaimed, :
11 Haste me to know It; that I, with wings as swift
As meditation, or the thoughts of love,

replied-:

Incidents of the deergls Campaign.
General Fuller, In a private-letter concerning the
march,says: '■■■■« ■

■which the publle buildings were destroyed to the
“ Gate City.” The dapqt.for instanao, a flue wftpe

suspended on wooden horses and swung like apon

tal). The end of the rail speedily battered down the
brick columns supporting the building,' and laid ,
everything In ruins. What was not smashed In this
way was soon lloked up by fire. ,
Another correspondent', writing to the Boulsviiw
Journal, says: -
Since we arrived at the aeacoast I have had'the
pleasure of treading ground saered td history. Our
regiment took possession of .the town of Sunbury .
and the old fort,-which, In the days of Revolutionary
fame, bad its history. It will be remembered that
the British landed a force below Snnbury, attacked
and' captured the tort, moving thence on Darien,
and they burned the town of AUdway, and moved
upon Savannah.
Barge trees have grown In the trenches around
the fort, anA what was then a large plantation Is
nowxz heavy pine and cedar forest; yet the old
guns remain spiked, and half way embedded In the
sand which has accumulated within the. fort.- Stand- ■
lng on that ground, and looking 1 ' out on our blocka
ding squadron, and beyond to where the sea and
sky meet and mingle to melody, I could not repress
strange emollons. What, lf lt were possible that
the heroes who defended Sunbury could speak tram
their graves—what would they say to the people of
Georgia to-day t '
"Would they urge them to persist to their wicked
attempt to destroy the great Government for which:
they gave their lives, or would they, wlth-warntog
voice, tell them that secession springs from the devil
and ends only in disgrace and Infamy 1 Would they
not conjure their children, |y the blood they shed,
by the wounds which ’laid them low, to avoid the
traitor’s path, and oltog to the Government which
was bought with blood and established. In wisdom
for the benefit of all men, to all climes, throughout
all coming time 1
Then, too, I wondered If those heroes o£ ourhis
torlc days fein as they walked the parapets of their
fort, and' looked out on the British flag waving to
the sea beyend, that dread of battle which so many
of ub feel to these modem days 1 History tolls us
how they fought, but I could not refrain from ask
ing myself If the red-coats came dashing bayonet to
hand, upon the little fort, and If our fathers met
them to the breach 1 -
Thus I mused until It seemed that I could hear
the thunders of battle In my ears. I could almost
seethe blaze of the Bong Tom as she hurled her
chain-shot among the rigging of the British vessel,
the shonts of the enemy, the hitter shouts of de
fiance which answered back, the grand assault,
the meeting of foemen face to face and hand to
hand, the clashing of steel, the going down Into
the ditch of the cockade and red-ooat together. All
these things seemed present before me, and I ‘could
scarcely realize that I lived to 1861, Instead of 1777.
As I write, my tent Is sheltered by the boughs of a
live oak, planted during the period .when Georgia
was a colony, and it is probable -that the-scions of
England’s royalty have enjoyed many a gala day in'
the grounds adjoining mv camp. Within a hun
dred yards of my tent no the remains of Governor

the mansion of this “finoTJld English gent” is co
vered over with the growth of a century, and
everything around betokens a grandeur of style
which Time has laid his finger upon and marked as
belonging to the past. But why continue this 1 Has
not every foot of soil some claim to sacred remem

ssb.— One of Gen. Webster’s -orderlies, John O.
By bee by name, a member of the let Ohio O&valry,
was present on his , horse, with a regiment of the
I6th Corps, when they made the oharge on the
enemy’s works, to the evening. So great was the
enthusiasm of the man, that he ooula not restrain .
his desire to accompany them, .end accordingly
rnshed forth to the ling, though entirely unarmed.
He Soon outstripped them to.tn® race. Between him
and the rebels was a stone wall Bvw feet high, and
beyond It a ditch. How he dewed this he does not
well remember, only that he found himself on the
other side, and to good condition. > He chawed at:
once upon a headquarters wagon, the driver of
which dismounted and took to flight. From this he
captured a rebel stand of coTors, an officer’s belt,,
and a portfolio of official documents. When he
attempted to return, he found the wall he had
passed now quite Impracticable.
A member of the Bohemian fraternity, “Ber
wick,” of the Boston Jbiß-nhj, was.alone to the rear
of the SSd Oorpgwien it made lts'Buperb charge on
the hill, kud witnessed It throughout. He had
round It necessary to dismount, hltoh his horse and
seek protection behind a line of works. During the
progress of the charge he quite lost himselfin.admi
ration, and issued out from behind his defenses,
passing through an embrasure to the front. A sud
den sourry of bullets restored him to consciousness,
and he promptly replheed himself under cover.
When his elevation of spirit had somewhat subsided,
what was bis disgust to find that some unrdmantlo
■'-’of had possessed himself of his horse and va
nished, The result was that he reached Nashville
SiTfoot. eight mSa distant, utterly devoid of
“items,” and filled with melancholy resections
upon the depravity of human nature.
Thu Stoky on Buhatio.— lt has generally
been believed that It is dangerous to sever one’s
head from his trunk. Indeed, we had believed it
always destroyed life, until we found the following
local to the Cincinnati Gazette, of the 12 th. The re
porter says: “ Night before last a man entered the
Ntoth-street station-house and surrendered himself
to the offloers to oharge, saytog that he had killed a
man, but onlyfiid so to self-defence. As the officers
were about to lock him up, he agreed to make a
statement of the affair. About an hour before,'as he
was walking along a street ta the western part’of
the elty, he met ,a couple of rough-looking-men,
who invited him into a. saloon to drink with
them. Nothing loth he consented, and after
ditoktog a couple of toddles the men took
him into a baok room and then mid there deliberate
ly robbed him. Upon making an outery the fiends
- turned upon him, and one of them cut his head off
with a large are lying hear. After this, aooordlng
to' the man's statement, he picked up his head and
put it to its place, when, strange to say, the head
became fastened to the trunk, and all his senses and
reason returned, Finding himself in possession of
hla full faculties, he determined to revenge himself,
a „o shot one of the men,-when-the other ran away.
The proceeded to the station house,
and surrendered himself to the offloers of justice.
It is believed the man has been rendered Insane by
some hoMIMe stories he has recently read. He will
•be taken to the Probate Court, and in all probabili
ty sent thence to the Eongvtew Asylum.

Gen- Grant, It Is stated, will shortly remove his
headquarters to Washington, as a more oentral
pbintthan hlB present station, and whence ho can
observe and direct the movements of all our armies,
both east and west, with greater facility. In case
this alteration 1b made, Gen. Meade will probably
occupy the Lieutenant General’s present headquar
ters at City Point, and Gen. Park will be located
In those thus vacated by Gen. Meade.

there Is now ten feet of wafer In Dutch Gap Canal, be
correct, that noted enterprise will not have proved
so great a failure after all. Your correspondent,
with the Army of the James will keep you posted
In regard to the matter, however. .
The rebels, who have a 60-pounder Whitworth
gun stationed opposite the headquarters of the sth

Avery House. They fired about a hundred rounds,
but, as they were unable to hit their mark, they
finally desisted, thinking, no cloubt, that their trou

The detachment of substitutes which left Phila

The formation of coai companies lave lately been
kepUn abeyance, in deference to the prevailing notion
that no sew stocks can succeed unless they be pstroleum
stocks. The coal fields of Pennsylvania will stand a
development of endless years, and every new enter*
prise, looking to the development ot this, one of oar
greatest resources, should be received with, favor. The
“ShaftonCoal Company’'.is the title of a new organi
zation, just perfected under the mining laws of Penn
sylvania, with a capital 0ff1,000,000. The property of
this company consists of the Shelton coal mines, locate d
on the line of the Pennsylvania BaUroad, in Westmore
land county.- The company owns here 440 acres of
bituminous coal of"a superior Quality, especially for
the manufacture of gas, and upon this tract a large col
liery with the necessary tools, houses, cars, etc., esc
Hr. Martin Nixon has been elected president of the com
pany.
The folio wing decision is from the Interna! Be venae

In regard to the payment of the Interest upon the In
diana Stats bonds, lor which no appropriation was made
by the Legislature. Governor Morton says:
“ Winslow, Lanier, & Co- gave public notice that
they would pay the hack interest which fell dne infuly,
and afterward gave farther notice that they would pay
the Interest accrued on the Ist day of January, 1854, the
Ist day of July, 1864, and the Ist day of January, 1835,
anduptotheSlstoffiovember last, as I am advised,
had paid ant *116,677.08. How much they have, paid
since the Ist of January, 1865, 1 am not advised, but.
presume it will make theagsrei&teaa much as ggp&.OOO.
The noble and' generous conduct of thle hones should
and win be appreciated by the people of Indiana; and
Mr. Lanier, In his clear comprehension and. able man
agement of the affair, has displayed not only financial
ability, but a broad statesmanship not oftss exhibited
In financial affairs. I trust that the generous confidence
Which he has reposed-in the good faith of the people of
Indiana will not be disappointed, and that the Legists,
■.tnre will hasten to reimburse him for the money he ban
and indemnify him foi the use of It ar,d for
tumble he has incurred. ’ ■ I
